LVectorObject::UnlockObject

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LVectorObject::UnlockObject(pObject)

Sets the object information of the class object. This function is available in the LEADTOOLS Vector Imaging Pro Toolkit.

Returns

Comments

This function is used to update the object information of the class object.

To use this method, declare a variable of type VECTOROBJECT and pass the address to the LVectorObject::LockObject() method. After modifying the vector object settings, call LVectorObject::UnlockObject(). LVectorObject::LockObject() and LVectorObject::UnlockObject() should always be called in pairs. A more useful form of this method is available in any of the LVectorObject derived classes.

Before an object has been added to the LVectorBase object, using LVectorBase::AddObject or LVectorLayer::AddObject, UnlockObject() can be used to change ALL properties of an object. However, once the object has been added to the LVectorBase object, some properties cannot be changed using LVectorObject::UnlockObject(). Specifically, nPointCount, *Point, pszText, and pbyType cannot be changed. However, as long as the number of points does not change, the coordinates of the individual points can always be modified using LVectorObject::UnlockObject().

To get the current object information for a class object, call LVectorObject::LockObject.

LVectorObject::LockObject and LVectorObject::UnlockObject must be called in pairs.
